I am very annoyed with Persona 4 at the moment. I’ve been making good progress through a dungeon up until now, when I died twice in a row under different stupid circumstances.

First, an enemy used its self-destruct attack which was somehow strong enough to take the player character’s health down to zero (in P4, you control the player character, and if he dies you have to reload your last save, regardless of the rest of your team’s health). So I lost two dungeon floors worth of progress. A bit frustrating but no biggie, right?

Well then after clawing back all my work I died on the same floor because I managed to use a group attack on four enemies who all were resistant to that attack, so it got reflected back at me four times over.

This is made worse because of how the save system works. There’s no automatic saves, and you have to leave or complete a dungeon to reach a save point.
